Maryland celebrates its award-winning, citizen-centric website,
www.Maryland.gov, honored nationally and internationally by nine
prestigious organizations this year and boasting 39 awards since
2014. These honors recognize Maryland.gov as a leader in delivering
a best-in-class communication platform and recognize its impact to
the evolution of digital media and interactivity of government
website design to better serve the citizens in the state of
Maryland.
“The Maryland Department of Information Technology is proud of
the evolution of Maryland.gov. These awards are a testament to our
ability to keep pace with current IT trends and consumer
preferences, in an effort to provide citizen-centric IT solutions
to Marylanders,” said Acting Secretary, Mike Leahy.
Maryland.gov provides a gateway for more than 87 million
visitors to agency websites and hundreds of time-saving digital
government services. Agencies and visitors have access to payment
processing gateways, real-time social media mashup for more than
300 agencies, help desk with live chat, interactive events and
public meetings calendar, and citizen-centric Google site
search.
Maryland.gov’s engaging design was developed with a mobile-first
approach to serve the 42 million mobile visitors. The portal
utilizes responsive design techniques for flexible display on
smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop devices.
Maryland’s use of GIS state data mashups within the NearYou
geo-location mapping service integrates the Motor Vehicle
Administration’s queue system with office locations to display
current wait times at branch offices. State park, agency locations,
and even state jobs are visibly displayed using this
citizen-centric feature. Maryland.gov is truly cutting edge,
putting citizens’ needs at the forefront of design.
The Maryland.gov website was developed for the state of Maryland
at no cost by NIC Maryland, through a statewide, self-funded
digital government master services agreement with the State
Department of Information Technology (DoIT).
